5 Lessons I Learned in NursePreneurship in 2025 (And What I’m Doing Differently in 2026)

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +1000

This is the final episode of the Nursepreneur Academy podcast for 2025, and we are closing the year with a honest behind the scenes debrief.

In this episode, Liam shares the five biggest lessons he learned in nursepreneurship this year, how an adult ADHD diagnosis changed everything, and what he is intentionally doing differently in 2026 to build a sustainable, multiple six figure nurse led business.

This is not a highlight reel. It is the real, messy, human truth of growing a business, getting sick six times in a year, navigating ADHD burnout, reconnecting with creativity, and learning to build a business that supports your nervous system instead of burning it out.

In this episode, Liam talks about:

Why 2025 was his highest income year in business, even while being sick more than ever
How managing his energy and nervous system created more growth than trying to manage time perfectly
Getting diagnosed with ADHD and finally understanding years of burnout, crashes, and self doubt
Why doubling down on one offer and one ecosystem worked, and where that advice was too rigid for a neurodivergent brain
The tension between focus and novelty, and how he plans to honour both in 2026
How having fewer clients but more support (coaches, editors, trainers, teachers) grew his income and joy
Why simple, human content often outperforms polished, overly strategic content
What it really takes to build a long term, personal brand based business in a nervous system informed way
How reconnecting with creativity and play singing, piano, dance, theatre is now a non negotiable business strategy
Why your nervous system capacity and ability to receive support will determine your success more than your niche, funnel, or offer

By the end of this episode, you will feel seen in your own 2025 journey, have language for some of the challenges you may have faced, and walk away with practical lenses to take into 2026 so you can build a business that is profitable, sustainable, and kind to your brain and body.

How I Gained 4,000 Followers on Instagram and Hit My First 1 Million View Month as a Nurse Coach (And Why That Is Not Actually the Goal)

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +1000

My content didn’t blow up because I worked harder or posted more.

It exploded when I finally stopped trying to be “original,” did less , and started playing the content game strategically.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how I gained 4,000 followers from a handful of posts after posting over 2,000 times… and how I hit my first 1M-view month on Instagram.

But more importantly: I’ll show you why those numbers are not the real win – and what you should actually be tracking if you want clients, not just claps.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why my content finally landed, what changed, and how to use the same Content Compass I teach inside NursePreneur Academy to get real traction (without burning yourself out creating content 24/7).

💡 In This Episode, I Share:

Why “more content” isn’t your problem
Followers ≠ clients (and what actually does)
The 3 biggest content mistakes nurses make online:
Growth-Style Content 101
The viral B-roll that changed everything
Why repeating what works is not laziness, it’s strategy
My Content Compass framework (what I teach inside NPA):
GROWTH: Get seen, build audience, low-pressure CTAs
NURTURE: Build trust with talking heads, stories, lived experience, frameworks
SELL: Clear invitations, objection-handling, offer-led content
REPURPOSE: Reuse your highest-performing posts so content stays sustainable
How this actually looks in a nurse business

🧭 If You’re a Nurse Entrepreneur/Nurse Coach, This Episode Will Help You:

Stop blaming “the algorithm” and start using it as free data
Decide what kind of content you should focus on right now (growth vs nurture vs sell)
Understand why “three generic tips to manage stress” isn’t working anymore
Give yourself permission to repurpose ruthlessly instead of burning out
Build a content ecosystem that actually leads people into your offers, not just into your DMs saying “love this 💕” and then disappearing

My Late ADHD Diagnosis Story (And signs I missed as a nurse)

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +1000

In this raw solo episode, I finally share my late ADHD diagnosis story and the signs I blew past as a high-performing nurse.

The stuff that didn’t look like ADHD at all. The stuff I “normalised” in myself because nursing trains us to cope, push through, and mask the toll.

I used to describe myself as lazy, inconsistent, “too much,” or mysteriously tired.

Turns out, I was compensating for a brain I never understood.

This is the conversation I needed years ago. If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty while everyone assumes you’ve got your sh*t together, you’re not alone. Maybe you’re neurodivergent, navigating a system that was never designed for your wiring.

Step 5,6,7 : How to Sell, Launch and Grow as a Nursepreneur

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +1000

Sales feels icky until you realise you’ve been doing it your whole nursing career.

In Step 5 of the Bedside to Business roadmap, Liam dismantles the biggest fear nursepreneurs have: selling.

If you’ve ever advocated for a patient, educated a family, or persuaded a team to take action —guess what? You already know how to sell.

“Ethical sales is just advocacy, empathy, and informed choice. That’s nursing.”

This episode reframes sales as service and shows you how to confidently communicate your offer without sounding salesy or fake.

You’ll learn how to launch before you feel ready, sign your first clients, and eventually automate and scale with strategy, AI, and ease.

Plus, Liam shares the exact moment everything shifts: when you realise that nursepreneurship is just the nursing process... with invoices.

Step 4: Holistic Marketing & Socials | Marketing for Nurses Who Want Clients, Not Likes

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +1000

Marketing for Nurses: Show Up, Share Value, Get Paid

You don’t need to be an influencer to market your business — you just need to be a nurse who knows how to communicate.

In Step 4 of the Bedside to Business series, Liam reframes marketing as something every nurse is already trained to do: educate, advocate, and build trust. If you’ve ever explained a tough diagnosis in plain language or made a terrified patient feel calm, you’re already a marketer.

“Marketing is just powerful communication. And nurses do that every day.”

This episode walks you through how to market yourself without becoming a dancing Reels queen.

You’ll learn how to post simple, strategic content, grow your audience without burnout, and build trust with dream clients using your own voice and story.

Plus: the #1 mistake Liam made that slowed down his growth — and how to avoid it.

Step 3: Six-Figure Niche & Offers | How Nurses Can Find Their Profitable Niche

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +1000

Ready to build freedom, but still stuck on your niche?

This is the episode that unblocks everything.

In Step 3 of the Bedside to Business roadmap, Liam dives into the real reason so many nurses overthink their niche — and how to finally claim your six-figure idea without spinning out or signing up for another certification.

“You already assess, diagnose, and treat. Now it’s time to prescribe a profitable offer.”

You’ll learn how to co-create an irresistible niche and offer with your audience, avoid the “helper trap” that leads to vague, broke businesses, and stop trading time for money.

Plus, Liam breaks down five powerfulbusiness models — from coaching to consulting to digital products — with real NursePreneur examples for each.

Whether you’re multi-passionate, multi-skilled, or feel like “someone’s already doing it,” this episode proves that your lived experience is your niche.

Step 2: Create Your Business Care Plan | From Nursing Care Plans to Business Strategy

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +1000

How to design a Business That Fits Your Life — Not the Algorithm

In this second step of the Bedside to Business roadmap, Liam shows you how to ditch the copy-paste strategies and create your own nursepreneur business care plan rooted in scalable simplicity and aligned goals.

If your offer, model, or schedule isn’t designed around your life, it’s a fast-track to resentment and burnout — not freedom.

“We’re moving from patient-centered care to you-centered business.”

This episode is your permission slip to do business differently. Whether you’re a busy mum, introvert, shift worker, or multi-passionate nurse, this framework helps you reverse-engineer your success based on your energy, bandwidth, and dreams.

Step 1: Transition to NursePreneurship | How to Start a Business as a Nurse

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 06:00:00 +1000

If you’re burnt out but secretly dreaming of building a business... this is your first step.

In this powerful kickoff to the Bedside to Business mini-series, Liam takes you deep into the mindset shift required to transition from bedside burnout to nursepreneur brilliance.

Spoiler: it's not your business model or being unsure about your niche that's holding you back — it's your monkey mind.

You'll meet the two parts of your brain: the amygdala (aka your survival-driven Monkey Mind) and your prefrontal cortex (your visionary CEO brain). If you're stuck in stress and self-doubt, trying to “figure out your niche,” this episode explains why you can’t think your way to clarity — you have to feel safe first.

“Your brain will sabotage your dreams in the name of safety. Don’t let it.”

This is a must-listen for any nurse who feels overwhelmed, second-guesses their every move, or wonders if they have what it takes to start a business.

You’ll Never Break Free From Nursing Because of This One Mistake (And The Science That Proves It)

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 06:00:00 +1000

Want to know the real reason so many burnt-out nurses can’t seem to break free from bedside—even when they deeply want to?

And no, it’s not a lack of motivation, strategy, or skills.

From the unseen trauma of healthcare work to the survival-mode wiring that keeps nurses looping in overthinking and “maybe next year” energy, Liam breaks down how trying to heal and build alone is the exact thing sabotaging your freedom.

You’ll learn why co-regulation (not another course or mindset hack) is the missing piece, how trauma-informed support activates your capacity to create, and why NursePreneurs don’t build empires solo.

“You can’t regulate your way into a new identity by yourself. You need co-regulated safety to finally feel safe in success.”

If you’re a purpose-driven nurse craving more income, more impact, and a way out of survival mode— you can’t skip this episode.

From Executive Nurse Director to NursePreneur - Eva Storey

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 06:00:00 +1000

What happens when a nurse with 40 years of leadership experience decides to go all in on herself?

In this emotionally charged episode, Liam sits down with Eva Storey — a nurse leader turned leadership coach — who made nursing optional after being made redundant from a senior role. Instead of going back, Eva backed herself.

She shares her journey from burnout and redeployment to building a global coaching business supporting nurse managers and healthcare leaders.

This is a masterclass in messy action, intuitive business building, and making bold moves later in life.

If you’ve ever thought “it’s too late” or “I’m not tech-savvy enough,” Eva is living proof that’s a lie.

From working with ChatGPT as her business coach to showing up on TikTok with zero experience, Eva shows us what’s possible when you drop the perfectionism and trust your inner wisdom.

How to Survive (and Thrive) in Your Graduate Nurse Year with Graduate Nurse Coach Deanne Geddes

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +1000

The moment you swap student badges for RN status feels like stepping off a cliff—excited

but terrified, underprepared, second‐guessing everything. In this episode, Deane Geddes

peels back the curtain on what most grad nurses don’t talk about: the fear, the mistakes, the

toxic “angel” culture, and the total lack of structure or support in that first 90 days.

Diane, founder of the Graduate Nurse Academy, shares her own transition story—her

glowing hopes, her anxiety‐fuelled mistakes, and her burnout. She reveals her THRIVE

framework: a six‐month, holistic roadmap for new nurses to build confidence, resilience, and

wellness from day one. We dig into what holistic self‐care actually means, how to rewrite

your inner narrative when confidence is shaky, and why so many grads drop out or feel

crushed early on.

If you’re a grad nurse (or soon will be), this episode is your lifeline. You’ll learn how to

survive and thrive your first year without letting hospital politics, mistakes, or shame steal

your joy. Listen in for tools, mindset shifts, and permission to be human.

Keywords: grad nurse burn out, confidence building, new nurse transition, self‐care for nurses.

In this episode, I chat with Amy Mageropoulos — RN, ice bath queen, and founder of Breathe IV in Sydney — about how she turned chronic pain, birth trauma, and burnout into a wellness business helping people breathe, recharge, and heal on their terms.

We go deep on IV hydration, cold water therapy, and breathwork — and the real talk behind launching a health studio as a nurse. Amy shares the harsh lessons, cashflow dramas, APHRA fears, and mindset breakthroughs that helped her go from “acting NUM” to “nurse entrepreneur.”

Whether you’re exploring IV hydration or just done with the shift-work grind, Amy’s story proves there’s a path to income, impact, and nurse freedom.

If you’ve ever said, “I just want to help people — but not like this,” this episode is your sign.

From Burnout to Balance: Annabel’s Journey to Building The Wellness Shift Coach

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 06:00:00 +1000

Burnout isn’t just a buzzword — for many nurses, it’s the quiet breakdown no one sees.

In this powerful episode, Liam chats with Annabel Wood, a nurse with over 25 years in

healthcare who hit a wall after building a multiple six-figure business while juggling

motherhood and 90-hour workweeks.

And forced her to ask the hardest question of all: What am I doing this for?

Now the founder of The Wellness Shift Coach, Annabel is helping other primary healthcare

nurses reclaim their energy, purpose, and power — without quitting nursing (unless they want

to).

“If your values and your work don’t align — burnout is inevitable.”

This is a deeply personal, belief-shifting convo about stress, resilience, and rising again after it

all falls apart. Whether you’re feeling exhausted, stuck, or secretly dreaming of a nurse-led business of your own — Annabel’s journey will light a fire in you.

How Nursing Exploits High Performers (and What to Do Instead)

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 12:30:00 +1000

Here’s the truth nobody tells high-achieving nurses, the system doesn’t reward you, it bleeds you dry.

The harder you work, the more you’re exploited.

More shifts.

More responsibility.

No extra pay.

No real recognition.

In this raw and powerful solo episode, Liam Caswell exposes the curse of the high-performing nurse — and how years of survival-mode conditioning in nursing can quietly sabotage your future in business.

Whether you're still at the bedside or building your business, if you’re over-delivering, undercharging, or burnt out before you even start… this one’s for you.

You’ll learn how to stop being a high performer for the system and start becoming one for yourself. Because when your nervous system is stuck in hustle-and-survive mode, no promotion, pivot, or business strategy will fix the burnout. That’s an inside job.

“Your excellence to cope has become your career prison.”

It’s time to break out.

⏱ EPISODE TIMESTAMPS

✔️[1:42] What you're gonna learn in this episode

✔️[2:02] The dark truth about high-performing nurses

✔️[3:28] Your ‘reward’? More shifts, more stress, no support

✔️[5:44] How nursing wires your nervous system for survival

✔️[7:45] Why you're stuck in prep mode (aka “business procrastination”)

✔️[11:59] New nursepreneur? This is how you sabotage yourself without realising

✔️[13:46] Real high performance isn’t about doing more

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 05:45:00 +1000

Stop Trying to FIND Your NursePreneur Niche (And do this instead)

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 05:30:00 +1000

If I had a dollar for every nursepreneur who said “I don’t know my niche”... I’d be on a yacht by now. ️

The truth?

Your niche isn’t hiding in a fancy worksheet — it’s you.

In this episode, I’m dismantling the biggest reason nurses stay stuck when starting a business: niche drama. You’ll learn my Scrub Your Niche framework — the exact process I use in the NursePreneur Academy to help nurses pull their profitable niche straight from their lived personal and professional experiences... without months of overthinking.

We’ll cover how to find a niche you actually believe in, why you don’t need more certifications to start, and how to position your unique story inside an existing market so people are already lining up to pay you.

If you’ve been spinning your wheels trying to “pick” a niche, it’s time to excavate your own journey, see what you’ve already mastered, and claim the past version of yourself you’re meant to serve. Because making nursing optional starts with owning your story.

If you like these topics, you will love this episode... nurse entrepreneur, nurse burnout, nurse business ideas, nurse niche, make nursing optional, profitable niche for nurses

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 06:00:00 +1000

Curious how nurse entrepreneurs actually pull off a six-figure launch?

In this episode, I reveal the behind-the-scenes truth of my first $100K+ launch for the NursePreneur Academy in April 2025 — and it wasn’t all smooth sailing.

Forget the Instagram highlight reel.

You’ll hear exactly what went down:

👉 Late-night content creation

👉 Emotional rollercoasters

👉 And how I signed 11 high-ticket students from a small audience — just 5,000 Instagram followers.

🎯 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

“If everyone says YES to your offer… you’re undercharging.”

“The launch was messy, chaotic — and completely worth it.”

“Launching is like doing 50 sales calls at once. Practice helps, but systems win.”

“Stop waiting for the perfect plan — clarity comes from action.”

Why Jodie Ditched Shift Work to Build a Business That Works for Her

Wed, 07 May 2025 06:00:00 +1000

Today, I’m joined by the legendary Jodie Eade — aka The No BS Business Coach — a Queensland-based nurse, ex-midwife, and six-figure massage business owner turned systems-savvy business coach for service providers.

Her journey? It's wild.

From raising kids and pausing her career for family, to being frustrated with AHPRA (more than once), to rebuilding her nursing credentials from scratch in her fifties... and still deciding to create a nurse-led business on her own terms? Iconic.

We talk about:

🔁 Starting nursing twice and what it’s like to return to the profession later in life

💼 Why she left her six-figure massage business and what COVID had to do with it

🎯 How she leveraged her past experience in retail, midwifery, sales, and business development to create a brand-new business

🧠 The mindset shifts required to go from charging $150/hour to selling premium coaching offers

✨ Building a business with freedom, not just more work

📉 Why digital marketing courses are often a trap (and what to do instead)

🛠️ The backend systems every service-based business owner needs to thrive

💸 How she made $10K while working full-time as a nurse — without a big following, website, or fancy tech

This one is raw, real, and ridiculously inspiring — especially if you’ve ever said: “I’m too old to start a business” or “I don’t even know what my niche would be.”

Spoiler: your life experience is your niche. And Jodie proves it.

👏 Episode Highlights:

“I knew I couldn’t go back to building someone else’s dream — it was time to build mine.”
“Business isn’t about hustle; it’s about systems.”
“If you’ve ever sold a service for $150/hour, you’re undercharging. Massively.”
“I want to go to Grandparents’ Day without begging my boss for a day off — that’s my why.”

You don’t need a new certificate. You don’t need to quit your job tomorrow. You do need a clear plan, support, and the courage to bet on yourself — like Jodie did.

In this powerful first interview back on the pod, Liam sits down with Trina Pitts, a senior nurse educator, mum, marathon-runner, and now — thriving nurse entrepreneur — to unpack her journey from breakdown to breakthrough.

How Trina went from tears on the way to work… to creating a nurse-led business that lights her up
The myth of “not being entrepreneurial” (and why so many nurses are exactly that)
How to turn pain into purpose — and build something that serves you
Why entrepreneurship isn’t about more hustle… it’s about coming home to yourself

🎯 Whether you're sitting in a senior role wondering is this it?, or you’re secretly dreaming about launching your own thing but don’t know where to start — this is your sign.

How Much Money Can You Make Online as a Nurse Entrepreneur? (And How Much Profit?)🌹

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 06:00:00 +1000

How much money can you actually make as a nurse entrepreneur? If you’re tired of the overtime grind and wondering whether it’s really possible to replace (or exceed) your nursing salary with an online or service-based business—you’re in for a wake-up call. In this episode, Liam breaks down the exact income potential across different nurse-led business models and walks you through the mindset shift that will transform your career forever. Spoiler alert: your income ceiling is way higher than you think.

🎧 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

00:00 – Introduction: The Potential of Nurse Entrepreneurship

Liam shares his journey from senior RN to full-time six-figure business owner, and sets the stage for what’s truly possible when nurses bet on themselves.

00:22 – Breaking Free from Traditional Nursing Income

Why we've been sold the lie that working more hours equals more money—and how that mindset is keeping us stuck.

00:50 – Value Creation Over Time Trading

How the wealthiest people make money (and what nurses can learn from them).

01:54 – Exploring Business Models and Profit Margins

A breakdown of nurse-led business models—from PDFs to VIP consulting—so you can see what’s viable for YOU.

02:54 – Low Ticket Offers: Starting Small

Think mini-courses, PDFs, and memberships. Great for scaling—but not ideal for beginners without an audience. ($5–$500 range)

06:04 – Mid Ticket Offers: Scaling Up

Examples of $1,000–$5,000 group coaching or programs that can help you earn $25K+ per quarter with solid profit margins.

08:31 – High Ticket Offers: Premium Services

What it looks like to create a $10K+ signature offer and work with fewer clients for greater impact, freedom, and income.

12:42 – Service-Based Business Models

IV hydration, cosmetic nursing, and wellness clinics—real numbers, real talk on costs, clients, and pricing sustainably.

14:55 – Mindset Shift: Charging What You're Worth

You’re not just delivering a session—you’re delivering transformation. Stop charging like a nurse. Start charging like a business owner.

16:53 – Conclusion: Unlimited Potential

There is no cap to what you can earn when you package your skills into a scalable offer that solves real problems.

In this episode of the NursePreneur Academy Podcast, I’m getting raw and real with you about one of the biggest mistakes I made when I transitioned from my full-time NUM role to full-time entrepreneur – quitting too soon.

I’ll take you behind the scenes of my cinematic, dramatic hospital exit (yes, there was a uniform throw involved 🙈), but more importantly, I’ll unpack what happened next... when reality hit, the paycheck disappeared, and the financial pressure turned my dream into a survival hustle.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: 💥 Why quitting your nursing job too soon could sabotage your success

💥 The impact of making business decisions from desperation (and how to avoid it)

💥 How burnout will follow you into entrepreneurship if you don’t manage your energy

💥 How to design a hybrid nursing-business model that sets you up for long-term growth (without the panic attacks)

Spoiler alert: You DON’T have to gamble with your stability to build a thriving business.

Whether you’re thinking about walking away from nursing or you're already side-hustling on your days off, this episode will show you how to play the long game like a pro – so you don’t burn out twice.

The Death of Traditional Nursing (And What's Next for Nursing Careers)

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 08:00:00 +1000

💡 Is traditional nursing dying? And if so, what does that mean for your career?

The healthcare system is broken. Burnout is at an all-time high, new grads are leaving within months, and experienced nurses are retiring in droves. Yet, the system still expects nurses to do more with less—while ignoring the reality of rising costs, declining job satisfaction, and the outdated industrial-age career model we were all sold.

But here’s the truth: Nurses don’t have to stay stuck in a system that’s no longer serving them.

In this episode, I break down why traditional nursing is dying a slow and painful death and how a hybrid nursing career—where you blend bedside with business—could be the future of nursing careers.

🚀 In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔️ [02:10] Why the traditional nursing career model is broken (and why it’s not your fault)

✔️ [08:45] How new grads and experienced nurses are leaving—and what’s really driving them out

✔️ [15:20] Why a hybrid nursing career is the solution to burnout, low pay, and lack of flexibility

✔️ [23:40] The digital era shift: How nurses can leverage online business, coaching, and content creation

✔️ [30:55] How to start designing your own profitable, flexible nurse-led business today

💡 If you’ve ever felt stuck, underpaid, or undervalued in nursing, this episode will show you a way forward.

When I started my nurse career coaching business, I had no niche, too many offers, and zero strategy—and for 18 months, I DIY’d my way to burnout. While I made $30K alongside my full-time nursing job, I was stressed, overworked, and ready to quit.

But here’s the good news: You don’t have to make the same mistakes.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the 6 biggest mistakes I made in my business, plus how to avoid them so you can build a profitable, sustainable business from the start.

🚀 In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔️ [02:10] Why not niching down fast enough nearly destroyed my business

✔️ [07:45] How having too many offers kept me broke and burnt out

✔️ [13:20] The critical mistake of not starting an email list sooner (and how it cost me $$$)

✔️ [19:40] Why overinvesting in certifications is NOT the key to making more money

✔️ [24:55] How underpricing my services made growing my business impossible

✔️ [31:30] The reality of “spraying and praying” on social media—and what to do instead

Comparison as a nurse - My thoughts

Tue, 13 Feb 2024 06:00:00 +1000

In the age of social media, it's easy to fall into the trap of comparison. We see our colleagues posting about their love for nursing, their energy, and their positive experiences, and we can't help but wonder, "What's wrong with me?”

In this episode, we’ll address the issue of comparison in nursing careers. With the prevalence of energetic and positive nurses online, it can lead to feelings of inadequacy and questioning one's nursing career. However, it is okay to not feel the same level of happiness and fulfillment as others in the profession and we should accept our reality and stop comparing ourselves to others. By creating space for self-reflection and engaging in activities that bring joy, nurses can begin to move towards a more fulfilling nursing career.

Key takeaways:

0:00:17 Feeling disconnected and comparing oneself to others

0:01:19 It's okay to not feel the same way about nursing

0:02:37 Accepting that everyone's reality is different

0:04:16 Nursing is not always rainbows and sunshine

0:05:44 Nervous system dysregulation and burnout

0:06:14 Stop comparing and acknowledge where you're at

Confidence vs Self Confidence

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 06:00:00 +1000

Confidence vs. Self Confidence

In this episode, I dig into confidence vs. self-confidence, a common issue among us nurses, is believing we are not confident enough to do something. I started by separating confidence and self-confidence into external and internal factors, where confidence is seen as an external validation and self-confidence comes from within.

Three main factors contribute to self-confidence: trusting yourself at all times, being open to experiencing any emotion, and your thoughts about yourself.

There is also a misconception that confidence comes from being competent in something, and it clarifies that confidence comes from repetition, but self-confidence comes from within.

Self-confidence is not arrogance but rather trust in oneself, willingness to experience both positive and negative emotions, and managing thoughts about oneself.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to build their self-confidence. I provide insightful and practical tips on cultivating self-confidence, which is essential for success in any career or aspect of life.

Key takeaways:

03:28 - Confidence and self-confidence a common issues among people.

04:48 - External and internal factors.

06:54 - Three main factors of self-confidence

08:10 - Self-confidence is not arrogance

09:43 - Overcoming misconceptions

15:53 - The importance of self-confidence

18:53 - Self-confidence is your ticket to your dream job

Who not how - achieving your 2024 goals!

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 06:00:00 +1000

In this episode, I explore the concept of "who not how" and how it can help nurses achieve their goals. Instead of focusing on how to achieve a goal, it is more effective to find the right person or resource to help you reach that goal. I’m sharing my examples and stories to illustrate the power of finding the right "who" and leveraging their expertise.

This concept is inspired by the book "Who Not How?" by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan. The book's central idea is finding the right individuals to help you reach your goals. Once you find the right "who" – a mentor, coach, or colleague – they can guide you, provide accountability, and help you uncover the "how".

Focusing less on the "how" and more on the "who" can be a game-changer in achieving goals, especially for nurses. It helps us leverage collective expertise, regulate our mindset, and accelerate our progress. So, as you set your sights on your goals for 2024, consider looking for your "who" to help uncover the "how".

Key takeaways:

03:30 The Book "Who Not How" by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan

04:38 Using the "Who Not How" Mindset in a Leadership Role

08:26 Impact of Disconnection in the Nursing Community

10:49 Achieving Goals through Neuroplasticity and Accountability

12:07 The Importance of Finding the Right Support in Nursing

14:46 Leveraging Collective Expertise to Achieve Nursing Goals

22:47 Holding Yourself Accountable and Having a Future-Focused Vision in Nursing

24:22 Success Story of Helping a Nurse Transition to a Work-From-Home Position

26:00 Leveraging Someone's Expertise to Save Time and Achieve Goals

28:56 Personal Example of Leveraging Someone's Expertise to Save Time

29:57 Importance of Finding the Right "Who" in Nursing Careers and Leadership

Normalising Transition Shock

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 06:00:00 +1000

In this episode, I explore 'transition shock' and strategies to conquer it, addressing the challenges of transitioning to new roles or careers. Facing the fear of starting over can hinder progress. To thrive amidst these changes, I emphasized the importance of embracing change and nurturing resilience.

Transition shock encompasses a spectrum of emotions experienced during significant life or career shifts—excitement, confidence, self-doubt, and anxiety. Normalizing this experience is crucial. Feeling underconfident during new challenges is a typical phase, not a reflection of personal shortcomings. Transitioning requires patience, practice, and time.

Navigating transition shock involves a mindset shift. It's about embracing the emotional whirlwind, reframing negative thoughts, and building confidence and competence. Remember, transition shock is a natural part of the process. Embracing change with resilience and trust in my abilities is key to fostering a fulfilling nursing career filled with growth.

Key takeaways:

00:54 Understanding Transition Shock in Nursing

01:04 The Fear of Being a Beginner Again

01:39 The Journey of Our Graduates

Release the How

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 06:00:00 +1000

In this episode, I emphasized the value of embracing flexible career paths rather than fixating on meticulously laid out plans. I delve into the prevalent sentiment among healthcare professionals, including myself, of feeling the need to tightly control career outcomes, which often leads to unnecessary stress and worry. Drawing from my own experiences and insights gleaned from successful professionals, I highlight the nonlinear nature of success in nursing and the futility of trying to micromanage every aspect of our journey. Instead, I urge listeners to cultivate resilience and adaptability, empowering themselves to navigate discomfort and change while centering on an internal locus of control—managing our thoughts, emotions, and actions.

Throughout the discussion, I underscore the significance of remaining open to diverse opportunities that align with our evolving personal and professional needs. I stress the importance of being receptive to change and varying pathways, recognizing that a rigid approach seldom aligns with the dynamic nature of our careers. I advocate for a mindset that embraces uncertainty and seeks growth through embracing diverse opportunities.

The crucial role resilience plays in our pursuit of fulfilling careers and lives. It emphasizes that developing comfort in discomfort is pivotal, serving as a prerequisite for achieving our aspirations. By fostering resilience and a willingness to adapt, we can chart our course towards our dream careers while navigating the unpredictable nature of our professional journeys.

Losing Clinical Skills

Tue, 28 Nov 2023 06:00:00 +1000

In our careers, we often feel hesitant to explore new paths, fearing a loss of hard-earned skills. However, skill evolution is a natural part of our journey. In this episode, I talked about how our brains adapt and learn and how we can confidently navigate career changes while building upon existing expertise.

The common fear many have about losing their clinical skills when expanding their career in nursing or switching to a different industry. Noting the incredible adaptability of the human brain, I emphasized the power of neuroplasticity and the capacity to learn and apply new skills while retaining previously acquired expertise. Personal anecdotes are shared to affirm reassurance in career transitions, rejecting the notion of skill loss in favor of the concept of skill evolution.

Skill evolution is integral to our career journey. Embrace the idea that skills continually evolve. Adopt an "I'll figure it out" mindset, shift perspectives, and confidently unlock your full potential amid career changes.

Under-earning as a Nurse

Tue, 07 Nov 2023 06:00:00 +1000

In today's episode, my focus is on a major issue affecting our earning potential: underselling ourselves. Despite our skills and accomplishments, many nurses struggle to express their true value due to fear of coming off as overconfident. It's crucial to distinguish between self-assuredness and arrogance while recognizing and communicating your expertise, achievements, and experience for professional growth.

This habit of underselling creates a self-fulfilling prophecy, hindering our opportunities in nursing careers by dwelling on our perceived inadequacies. To combat this, we need to deeply explore our career narratives, understand our worth, and reshape our perceptions of our capabilities.

The roots of this underselling behavior lie in deep-seated beliefs and past experiences. Not addressing these can stall professional growth and earning potential. Although not an easy fix, investing in recognizing your worth brings real changes in your career trajectory. By ending the underselling cycle and actively pursuing opportunities that match your value, you can unlock the income and opportunities you truly deserve. Let's remember that nurses' worth merits acknowledgment, paving the way for opportunities that reflect our actual value.

Key takeaways:

02:30 - Underselling Leads to Underearning

04:55 - Self-Reflection and Overcoming Underselling

15:58 - The Impact of Trauma on Nursing Careers

19:17 - Shifting Mindsets for Career Advancement

20:06 - Seeking Opportunities and Embracing Abundance

21:20 - Recognizing Worth and Pursuing More

From Busy to Bored

Tue, 26 Sep 2023 06:00:00 +1000

In today's episode, we dive deep into the topic of boredom and its often underestimated power. We explored the idea of sitting with boredom, questioning why it is seen as a problem, and embracing the space it creates for curiosity and personal reflection. I also shared my own theory on the subject, shedding light on the societal norm of busyness that often prevents us from truly connecting with ourselves.

I shared stories from my experience as a clinician, where chronic stress and trauma have become the norm, but the importance of self-care and creating space for boredom still remains.

As we unravel the connection between boredom, resilience, and personal growth, join us in rediscovering the value of embracing these moments of stillness and reevaluating our relationship with busyness.

Key takeaways:

01:41 - Self-care is essential; prioritize your well-being

12:06 - Busy-ness vs. stress conditioning.

13:44 - Understanding our dysregulated nature leads to self-care.

19:34 - Embrace boredom, find brilliance in empty space.

Nursing Burnout

In this weeks episode I discuss the concept of high-performance nursing and the susceptibility to burnout that comes with it.

I share my personal experiences and reflections on how being a high performer can lead to overdelivering and overperforming, ultimately resulting in burnout.

I emphasize the importance of acknowledging and gifting ourselves the space to prevent and manage burnout.

I also highlight the need to honor our energy, allow ourselves to experience the full spectrum of human emotions, and create space for self-care.

Instead of trying to burnout-proof our careers, what if we learned the valuable life skill of learning to manage our mind, feel our feelings, and identifying burnout early to optimise our self-care.

The Secret to NAILING graduate nurse interviews

Thu, 22 Jun 2023 06:00:00 +1000

Hey there, welcome to another exciting episode of "High Performance Nursing"! Today, I want to share with you the absolute best thing I ever learned about interviews. Seriously, it changed my life, and I know it's going to change yours too! So buckle up because we're about to dive into the incredible world of interview notes.

Let me tell you, interview notes are a game-changer! Picture this: you walk into an interview, all nervous and worried that you'll forget everything you wanted to say. Sound familiar? Well, guess what? It happens to the best of us! But here's the secret sauce: interview notes. They're like your secret weapon against those pesky mind blanks caused by the fight-or-flight response. By taking notes and preparing ahead of time, you'll have all your best examples and themes right at your fingertips.

Now, you might be wondering, "How exactly do I use these magical notes?" Well, let me break it down for you. When you create your interview notes, you're essentially creating a safety net for yourself. They're a brain dump of all your top-notch examples and ideas, so you can practice and polish your responses before the big day. Think of it as a teleprompter, guiding you back on track when you need a little nudge. And here's the best part: it's not cheating! It's a tool to help you shine and show the interview panel just how prepared and dedicated you are.

But hold on, I know you might be thinking, "Hey, what if the panel doesn't like me using notes?" Fair question! While it's rare for panels to object, I've got a solution for that too. If they ask you to put your notes away, don't fret. Just keep them discreetly under the table and rely on the work you've already done. The beauty lies in the fact that you've already practiced and internalized your examples, so your brain is fresh and ready to deliver.

Prevention VS Cure - Grad Success Series

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 20:00:00 +1000

In today's episode, I discussed the importance of prevention being better than cure when it comes to job hunting as a graduate nurse.

Graduates who seek help and explore their options ahead of time have a better chance of succeeding in landing a job compared to those who leave everything to the last minute.

From my experience, it is harder to bounce back from not succeeding in job applications, and it can negatively affect your confidence and self concept before you even start your career.

Investing in oneself and seeking help can lead to success in job hunting as a graduate nurse.

The Imperfect Clinician

Mon, 17 Apr 2023 20:00:00 +1000

The Imperfect Clinician

In today's society, we are often encouraged to strive for perfection in all aspects of our lives, including our careers. This pressure to be perfect can lead to unrealistic expectations and can contribute to burnout. In this episode, I invite you to embrace imperfection in nursing and in life.

I discussed how perfectionism could be harmful and how striving for perfection can lead to unrealistic expectations.

The beauty of life lies in imperfection, and embracing the ebb and flow of the human experience is what makes it valuable. Acknowledge and accept imperfection, and stop expecting perfection from themselves and others.

Key takeaways:

00:43 - Striving for perfection and expectations

01:30 - Accepting the imperfection in life

02:25 - The concept of B minus work

04:37 - Imperfection is the beauty of life

05:11 - Acknowledging and accepting imperfection

Self Doubt as a Graduate Nurse - Grad Success Series

Wed, 12 Apr 2023 20:00:00 +1000

Self Doubt as a Graduate Nurse - Grad Success Series

Self-doubt is a self-created emotion.

Self-doubt comes from our thoughts about ourselves, which we have practiced believing more than we have practiced positive affirmations about ourselves. External factors such as grades, job rejections, or negative feedback from others do not create self-doubt for us, as they are outside of our control.

Our thoughts generate our feelings, and the self-doubt we feel stems from our negative thoughts about ourselves. We have power over ourselves and our thoughts, and I encourage you to practice positive affirmations to combat self-doubt.

Remember, others cannot create how we feel, and it is up to us to take charge of our thoughts and emotions.

Key takeaways:

00:54 What is self-doubt?

02:40 We have power over ourselves and our thoughts.

03:46 Our thoughts generate our feelings, including self-doubt.

07:07 External factors do not create self-doubt

09:36 Conclusion and the importance of understanding the role of our thoughts in generating self-doubt.

Nursing from Your Future Self

Mon, 27 Feb 2023 19:00:00 +1000

Nursing from Your Future Self

Today, we explore the topic of self-love and how it can be particularly challenging for nurses who may have negative thoughts about their current nursing career and life situation. I talked about the importance of acknowledging that there was a version of oneself in the past who was excited about where you are now. By focusing on this positive perspective, you can begin to love and appreciate yourself more in the present.

Self-love and compassion is an essential component of overall well-being, and it can be particularly crucial for those working in high-stress professions like nursing. The pressure to provide compassionate care to patients while also managing personal and professional responsibilities can take a toll on a nurse's mental and emotional health.

This episode provides an inspiring and insightful perspective on the importance of self-love in nursing and beyond. By recognizing and embracing the positive aspects of our current situation, we can cultivate greater self-love, acceptance, and contentment in our lives.

So, start connecting more with your past, present and future self and share this podcast with others to help them thrive in their careers as well.

01:35 - Using your past self to empower your present and future nursing career

06:09 - Shift your perspective

Confidence vs Self Confidence

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 19:00:00 +1000

Confidence vs. Self Confidence

Three main factors contribute to self-confidence: trusting yourself at all times, being open to experiencing any emotion, and your thoughts about yourself.

There is also a misconception that confidence comes from being competent in something, and it clarifies that confidence comes from repetition, but self-confidence comes from within.

Self-confidence is not arrogance but rather trust in oneself, willingness to experience both positive and negative emotions, and managing thoughts about oneself.

Key takeaways:

03:28 - Confidence and self-confidence a common issues among people.

04:48 - External and internal factors.

06:54 - Three main factors of self-confidence

08:10 - Self-confidence is not arrogance

Nurse Wellbeing Mission with Nathan Illman

Mon, 05 Sep 2022 20:00:00 +1000

Working as a nurse and midwife in the modern healthcare system is certainly a challenge, typically because as clinicians, we are ill-equipped to thrive within the complex system that is healthcare!

This week in High Performance Nursing, we’ll discuss with Clinical Psychologist and Founder of the Nurse Wellbeing Mission, Nathan Illman, the value of self-care, well-being, and our shared vision for organizational support for nurses and midwives.

Caring for our mental health, having an encouraging workplace, and building a robust culture are some of the few steps we can take to ensure that our nurses can perform at their best!

Nathan shares his top tips as a nurse and midwife ally, drawing from his lived experience in the system as both a clinical peer and a family member. Nathan was inspired by the amazing work that nurses and midwives do, kickstarting his desire to use his psychology and coaching skills to positively influence the system!

Ultimately, the goal is not to become the best worker out there, but to be the best version of yourself as a human first, nurse second. It’s time to dig deep and understand that those who deliver care must also experience care, even from themselves.

All this and more in this exciting discussion! Tune in and enjoy the conversation.

Self Coaching for Nurses

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 19:00:00 +1000

Nurses are some of the busiest people on the planet. Between managing patient care and dealing with paperwork, there’s precious little time for self-care. However, if you want to be your best both at work and at home, it’s important to take some time for yourself.

In this week’s episode of High Performance Nursing, I am sharing with you the importance of self-coaching for nurses and how it can improve the industry. While self-coaching may seem like a daunting task, it’s actually quite simple.

Personally, I am a big fan of self-coaching. I find that it helps me to stay focused and motivated, both at work and in my personal life. Self-coaching also allows me to reflect on my achievements and learn from my mistakes.

As nurses, we are constantly bombarded with tasks and responsibilities. It can be easy to get bogged down and feel like you’re just going through the motions. However, by taking a step back and coaching yourself, you can gain a new perspective on your work.

If you’re interested in learning more about self-coaching, check out this week’s episode of High Performance Nursing.

How to Land Your Dream Graduate Position

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 19:00:00 +1000

Are you nearing the end of your nursing degree and feeling anxious about your future? Don't worry, you're not alone. A lot of students feel overwhelmed when it comes to finding their dream job after graduation. But don't fret, there are plenty of ways to make the process a little less daunting.

You Are Worthy

Mon, 23 May 2022 19:00:00 +1000

Most of us are guilty of not recognizing our own worth. It’s our human nature to think that a sense of worthiness is only possible when we have more things and accomplishments. However, I’m here to prove that you are worthy right here, right now.

In this episode of High Performance Nursing, I decided to record a random talk session about feeling worthy. Have you ever had the feeling of needing to outsource your worthiness for it to be valid? I had been in situations like this when I don’t feel worthy unless I acquire certain achievements under my name.

In my nursing career, I realized that our worthiness is available regardless of the circumstances we’re in. We define our own worth, it’s never dependent on how other people see us.

Give yourself the permission to immerse in worthiness no matter how the world makes you feel. Keep in mind that you will never achieve your goals from a place of emptiness. You need to empower yourself and make the decision to feel worthy.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

Why do we outsource our worth? (00:55)
The negative effects of setting conditions to worthiness (02:27)
How does coaching help us realize worthiness? (04:15)
The value of reminding yourself that you’re worthy (05:55)

QUOTES:

"The only reason that you are not worthy in your mind is because of the thoughts you're choosing to think." -Liam Caswell (02:13)
"The only person that can define your worth is you." -Liam Caswell (02:51)
"I want to empower you to start seeing that you are 100% worthy right here, right now. There ain't nothing missing." -Liam Caswell (02:55)

There's no question that we all want to be wealthy. But how do you go about building wealth while knowing your worth? It can be tricky, but it's definitely not impossible.

Bet On Yourself And Recognise Your Success

Mon, 02 May 2022 19:00:00 +1000

A lot of people tend to stop themselves from pursuing a big goal. We constantly hold back because of imposter syndrome and the fear of failure.

With podcasting, I’ve realised that failing can be a beautiful thing. It may be hard, but I’ve always been determined to push myself to experience the highs and the lows.

As we celebrate the 50th episode of the High Performance Nursing, I decided to record a solo episode to celebrate this milestone. A year ago, I never thought that I’d be able to publish this many episodes, but here we are.

Through this episode, I encourage you to bet on yourself and recognise your success. You may have had small wins and think that they’re not substantial, but in these little triumphs we become more empowered and believe that we’re amazing beings capable of achieving whatever we want.

Remember that the only block stopping you from getting what you want is you, so step into your greatness, take massive messy strategic action and don’t be afraid to fail.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

Why we need to stop, breathe, and reflect (01:05)

Mon, 18 Apr 2022 14:00:00 +1000

For many people, eating without restrictions is a dream come true. And that's exactly what Cristina Capucci promises.

6 Steps Framework To Get Career Clarity

Mon, 21 Mar 2022 18:00:00 +1000

If you're feeling lost in your career, or like you're just not quite sure what you want to do next, don't worry - you're not alone. Many people feel this way at some point in their lives. The good news is that there are things you can do to get clarity on what you want and where your career is headed.

In this episode, I am going to show you a 6-step framework to get career clarity and start moving forward again. You've probably had moments where you've asked yourself, "What am I doing with my life?"

It can be hard to figure out what we want to do and even harder to know how to get there. But without a clear idea of what we want to do with our lives, it's difficult to make progress towards our goals.

One of the biggest reasons for this is that without career clarity, we can't set effective goals. We might have vague ideas about what we want, but without a specific target in mind, it's tough to know what steps we need to take to get there.

Without career clarity, it's also difficult to stay motivated; after all, if we don't know what we're working towards, it's hard to see the point in our efforts.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

Step 1: Get Curious About Yourself (3:17)
Step 2: Learn to Observe Your Thoughts (7:01)
Step 3: Conduct a Career Assessment (10:50)
Step 4: Network (12:55)
Step 5: Sample and Experiment (14:53)
Step 6: Build a Professional Career Brand (17:31)

Nurul is here to talk about how nurses can gain their power back. To do this, she advises nurses to truly know themselves, assess their emotions, and write their goals. Nurul also showcased the importance for nurses to understand deeply their why.

Nurses should know how to take back power over their lives and don’t let a stressful work or person control them. As a result, their mind and body reach homeostasis and their personal and professional lives become more aligned. They become motivated to do well in their careers, and they greatly appreciate who they are outside work.

The challenges in the nursing practice (07:33)
The significance of listening to body symptoms (14:19)

Creating Your Intentional Life with Beth Montano from Autonomic

Mon, 28 Feb 2022 18:00:00 +1000

In this episode of High Performance Nursing, I speak with the amazing Beth Montano. She is a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Medical Oncology and the CEO & Founder of Autonomic.

Beth has over 12 years of nursing experience and through Autonomic, she’s on a mission to help nurses to love their work. It’s no secret that working as a nursing professional or in most healthcare industries is extremely tiring and nurses experience burnout and constant stress.

For nurses to love their work, it’s essential to go back to basics and reflect on what they want from nursing. It starts with what Beth coined as RCA - require, change, and accept. Nurses should assess what they require from their work, the changes they want to happen, and the things they have to accept.

Some nurses also feel stuck because they’ve made their careers their entire identities. For Beth, being a nurse should only be a part of your identity and not the entirety of it. Beth also advises nurses to constantly seek both formal and informal support in times of stress. This not only helps their well-being but also has a positive influence on their work performance.

In times of crisis like this global pandemic where the demand for healthcare is high, nurses might question if they really love their work. However, with the right support and mindset, nurses can create an intentional life where they stay true to their passion and commitment to taking care of others and themselves.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

Beth's career to date (01:25)
Her life-changing experiences in India (02:50)
A day in a life of Beth as a clinical nurse specialist (11:55)
Beth's advice for nurses who are holding themselves back (14:50)
The history of Autonomic (17:09)
The changes Beth would implement in the nursing profession (23:03)
Love Your Work (25:05)
Beth's recommendations to nurses managing current stress (30:45)

4 Non-Typical Ways to Find Your Next Nursing Role

Mon, 21 Feb 2022 18:00:00 +1000

In this solo episode, I had a quick talk on the 4 key areas nursing professionals need to explore during a job search. Typically, nurses would only use one platform when it comes to seeking opportunities and I would often get asked where is the best place to look for jobs.

What nursing professionals don’t realise is that there are lots of opportunities out there, they just have to create them. Nurses would usually use cold email outreach and look for jobs in ways they are familiar with - going to local health district’s websites, Indeed, Glass door, and sending applications online.

Other ways to send applications include using the connections you’ve made in previous work or even in undergraduate training, going after your dream nursing role, and partnering with healthcare recruiters.

When you tap into these non-typical ways to find a nursing opportunity, there’s a huge possibility that you’ll come across off-market jobs which are not available if you simply just do an online search.

Broaden your job opportunity horizon by using out-of-the-box ways, and you might just end up getting the role you’ve always dreamt of.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

Cold market outreach (01:12)
Warm market outreach (01:59)
Ideal role outreach (03:33)
Recruitment outreach (06:12)

Aesthetic's Nursing & Nursepreneurship In The UK with Charlotte Reynolds

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 18:00:00 +1000

In this episode, I had a fun and informative talk with Charlotte Reynolds, who has been a colleague back in the UK. She is an ICU nurse and a nurseprenuer at the same time with her very own aesthetics clinic.

Charlotte had years of experience as an ICU nurse until she gave birth and realized that she needed to do something different. And that’s where the aesthetics clinic started.

At first, she was afraid of venturing into something she wasn’t really familiar with. She is afraid of what other people will think or if she can really make it until she learns to care less about others' opinions.

In this episode, Charlotte also shares what it was like to be an ICU nurse when the COVID-19 pandemic started. According to her, the hardest part was seeing other people suffer and not having a definite plan to handle the situation.

On the brighter side, she says they got the support they needed in such tough times. The hospital that she has been working at has helped her cope, especially on the emotional side, with everything going on around.

To sum it up, Charlotte, like any other nurse in the world, wants to do something different at some time too. Working in the hospital can be draining, and that's when nurses start to look for options. And there’s nothing wrong with it, actually. After all, nurses are still humans who need an outlet to destress and find another path at the same time.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

Charlotte’s nursing journey (01:45)
What is outreach nursing services in the UK look like (04:05)
How Charlotte discovered a new path (09:07)
What it's like to be a nurse during COVID (12:02)
Charlotte’s experience as an ICU nurse (17:05)
How Charlotte established her aesthetic business (22:15)
What it was like to take the first payment in Charlotte’s business (24:50)
Charlotte’s advice to those who are planning to start an aesthetics company (28:12)
Charlotte’s definition of high-performance nursing (31:00)
Charlotte's advice to health workers who are planning to do something different (36:35)
What keeps Charlotte going (40:00)

Burnout No More For Healthcare Professionals with Athol Hann

Tue, 08 Feb 2022 02:18:00 +1000

In this episode, I have a fascinating conversation with Athol Hann. He’s a Clinical Emergency Nurse, Founder of AtholTech, and fwards app and known for his Burnout No More courses.

Athol experienced first-hand what burnout feels like for healthcare professionals and started questioning if he can stay with his profession in the long run.

Surprisingly, he wasn’t aware that he was experiencing burnout until he had hateful feelings towards work. He went from someone who loves the nursing profession to someone who hated it.

All the little stress in the workplace piled up, and he knew that something needs to be done otherwise he might end up harming himself or others.

He eventually developed a process that allowed him to better deal with burnout and this gave rise to the Burnout No More Courses. He encourages nurses to tune in with themselves, write journals and ask for colleagues’ help.

Nurses share the same stress and problems in the workplace, it’s a powerful strategy to learn how others are coping with burnout. They have to realize that they’re not alone and doing so helps boost their morale and guides them out of the burnout pit.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

Athol's journey into his nursing profession (01:41)
Advantages of going against the traditional nursing route (05:38)
How he built the fwards app (08:08)
Realizations that led to fwards development (13:59)
Athol's biggest lessons from his tech venture (16:25)
How did non-clinical training help Athol's clinical practice (20:50)
How Athol handled his burnout phase (24:37)
The Burnout No More Course (30:25)

Healing and Empowering Carers With Nurse Jacqui O’Connor

Fri, 12 Nov 2021 10:05:00 +1000

In this week’s episode of High-Performance Nursing, I speak with Nurse Jacqui O’ Connor of Heart Place New Zealand. Jacqui is an advocate of healing and empowering carers.

Her unique life experiences, deep spiritual connection, and practitioner tools are an indicator that she is not your average, traditional coach.

Caring for the Carer, with Nurse Jacqui O' Connor (HeartPlace NZ)

Tue, 13 Jul 2021 00:41:00 +1000

This week on the High Performance Nursing Podcast, I was lucky enough to interview the amazing Nurse Jacqui O' Connor from Heart Place New Zealand.

Jacqui dives into her backstory, where she courageously shares her episode of burnout and her "aha moment" of realizing she was "Unhealed" prior to joining the nursing workforce and how that need for healing became a central component of her self discovery journey and in founding Heart Place.

If you are a carer who feels out of alignment, has lost their passion for their career, and/or is beginning their own self-discovery journey, this episode is not to be missed!

We cover the importance of values, boundaries, self-discovery, self-worth, mindset, reframing, meditation and so much more!

International Public Health (Fiji) with Darisha Datt (Fiji Cancer Society)

Wed, 26 May 2021 11:00:00 +1000

Crossing international waters we chat with Darisha Datt, Program Manager at the Fiji Cancer Society in this episode of HPN to highlight the underpinning public health has on the work nurses do and of course the different paths you can take with your nursing career. With 12 years experience in the Public Health sector as Program Manager Darisha's core focuses are on cancer prevention and cancer care support.

Liam's internship at Medical Services Pacific in Fiji where he met Darisha opened his eyes to the astounding difference between first and third world Public Health systems.... not only are they shatteringly under resourced but the impact that not being able to care properly for patients has on the medical professionals working on the frontline demonstrates just how much we take for granted in a well funded health system.

Darisha shares with us the challenge of trying to provide healthcare without things as simple as adult incontinence pads, stoma bags or even access to enough medication such as panadol,, highlighting the fundamental things that should be supplied by the ministry but just aren't.

Liam chats with Nichola Browning who has an impressive & extensive nursing career spanning many specialities & disciplines, we hear her baptism of fire in the UK as Nichola speaks to the impact the mentorship of key senior nurses had on her burgeoning career to progress, grow & lead. We also hear her unpack the vitally important part debriefing & reflection have on processing emotionally challenging times to avoid burnout as Liam asks Nichola about her time in MDT practice within an ICU.

This episode also tackles Imposter Syndrome, transition shock & psychological safety among peers and leadership within units, cultivating the qualities of being curious to grow.

Lastly Nicola tells us her lived experience on the other-side of the healthcare system when she recounts the moments her daughter suffered a stoke and how moving through that time has opened up opportunities to be a voice of change for young people in the same position.
